She is also the Finnish representative of ECTRIMS council. The research group has tight collaboration with neuroradiology, ophthalmology, cardiology and clinical nutrition.

Our specific aims are:

To elucidate the role of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis using modern brain imaging and OCT methods in correlation with clinical variables and biomarkers. We also evaluate the correlation of heart rate variability and autonomic dysfunction with neurodegenerative biomarkers

To evaluate the role of nutrition and cut microbiome in clinical course of multiple sclerosis
